Premier League WAG reveals how she splits the bills with her long-time Everton boyfriend

The partner of a £17m Premier League star has revealed the truth behind sharing bills with her boyfriend.

Premier League footballers are renowned for earning massive salaries, and Everton’s summer signing Jake O’Brien is no exception, earning £35,000 a week - the equivalent of £1.82m per year.

But teenage sweetheart Sophie Lawlor, who has been with O’Brien since he was playing for Cork in Ireland, has now shown her 16,000 TikTok followers how they split the bills in their relationship. The 22-year-old moved with her boyfriend back to the UK from France, where O’Brien had been playing for Lyon.

Now, in a light-hearted social media post she has revealed how the bills are divided up.

Lawlor said: “Here's how we split bills as a couple who lives together. I pay for rent, gas and electric, council tax, car insurance, car fuel, dog food, food shop, girly things and travel.”

On first impressions, it sounds like Lawlor puts all her money towards their upkeep - but at the end of the video cut to a photo of her and her 23-year-old boyfriend, where she added: “He gives me the money to pay for it all.”

The couple have been together for five years now, with O’Brien making three appearances for the Toffees so far this season, two of which came in the Carabao Cup.
